I really think Trump just wants some win for his ego and to present to his followers. I don't think he will keep asking for more money, or at least we will make it clear, that we will not go along with further demands. As long as the stuff were buying is needed here and we buy it at the normal market rate I think we should do it for economic stability

We will not do it out of kindness but since the US gov. doesn't understand how the economy works its better to save our economy for 50 bn instead of tanking it by letting tariffs stay in place. I personally avoid US products but the effects for our economy would be way worse if we don't reach a deal. Trump isn't reasonable and we rely on the US militarily to a certain extend. Let the toddler have his win since stability is what our markets need the most. Yes its extortion but we need to minimize damage. We are the reasonable and reliable ones in the new world order so the soft power the US loses is way worse in the end.

If Putin goes the person following after him will still not just leave the Ukrainian occupied territories. They might be more keen on pushing for permanent peace but unless the Kreml elite falls with Putin they will not be much better

Poor guy. Hope the government can bust him out somehow... Or better yet Erdogan loses this presidential election. Might be hard tho since Erdogan will rig it if it doesn't go in his favor.

I don't know why this is so heavily downvoted. Russia will not give up all the occupied land. That is just the reality of it. Unless Russia like collapses internally I don't see the Russian governing elite ever giving up the land they captured willingly. You could call an indefinite ceasefire and not official grant it to them but over time the new borders will just become more and more ingrained

Unless a major shift happens Ukraine can fight as long as it wants and more and more people can die. I don't think its currently and for the foreseeable future realistic for Ukraine to recapture all the land Russia occupied. Thats a sad reality and Ukraine should not be forced to give land away against their will but that reality will at some point catch up to them.

Warning to anyone that thinks about using an external service to sync/back up images. Immich is NOT encrypted. You trust these people to respect your privacy and not get hacked, or you would have to just not care. Ente or Zeitkapsel are fully encrypted and decent alternatives you do not have to host yourself. I personally will self-host but I will never ever trust someone with my private pictures from my camera roll.

Immich isn't even encrypted AFAIK. I would never trust my data some stranger unencrypted.

No, the article specifically mentions on how to get to this site from the steam client.

Mark my words Taurus will be delivered under Merz to Ukraine before the war ends. Of course he will consult european allies. He will use the coalition of the willing to give more missiles to Ukraine together with other nations like the UK or France. I highly doubt any input of Slovakia or Hungary are gonna matter.

Do you have a concrete source or evidence other than the mouth of this ever changing talking head. Like real evidence? If not just stop, its embarrassing. I get that you don't want to accept that people would be this stupid and vote for Trump again. But if you just deny reality based on some conspiracy you are not really different from republicans talking about a stolen election in 2020.

Its over, the MAGAs won this time. Lets face reality and accept it and deal with it. Denial gets us nowhere.
